Words actually hurt us, more than the physical blows we receive in our lives. They tend to leave scars on our hearts. As we glean wisdom from the books of Proverbs and James in this sermon, Rev John Rakshith Prabhakar shares how we can engage them in three steps: Words matter, words scatter and words gather.
This sermon was preached by Rev Prabhakar (Pastor of Redeemer Church, Bengaluru) on October 26, 2025, at Trinity Presbyterian Church, Chennai.

Baptism testifies entirely of God’s grace and not our works. We read repeatedly in the New Testament that the practice of the primitive church was to baptise not only those who believed in Jesus, but also their households. This is because the Bible tells us that God's grace of salvation is not only for the individuals who believe but also to their families. In this sermon we see that God includes children by his grace in this covenant as he does adults.

Psalm 3 deals with the emotion of fear; it helps us understand what to do when we are under threat or when we live in fear. The Psalm was written by King David when he was fleeing from his son, Absalom. Through this Psalm we learn that we worship a God who delivers us from the fear of threats, of uncertainty and of our vulnerability.

What does the apostle Peter mean when he says "baptism now saves you"? For so many evangelicals today, such language can be disconcerting and disturbing as baptism is considered a mere sign of conversion. The Bible tells us that baptism is not just an empty sign of salvation, since God is at work in the sacraments.
In this sermon, we see that in baptism, a Christian is saved from the waters of judgement, through the waters of grace and by the waters of cleansing.

More than a dictionary definition of love or the numerous examples of love that we see in our lives every day, God gives us a clear description of what love is in His word. 1 Corinthians 13 is one of the few passages in scriptures where the Christian ethics of love is clearly stated with no ambiguity. Ultimately, in Jesus, God gives us the perfect picture of love.

The wilderness in scripture is a desolate place, a place of judgment. Yet we read that Jesus, the perfect Son of God, had to endure temptation in the wilderness, just like we do in our daily lives. The Spirit pilots Jesus into the wilderness so that he will be proven as the new Adam and the new Israel of God.
In this sermon, we consider how the temptation of Jesus can aid in our Christian walk of sanctification. The sermon was preached by Rev Christopher Poshin David on August 24, 2025, at Trinity Presbyterian Church, Chennai.

The tragic events of Judges 19 lead to a deadly civil war in Israel, which we read in chapter 20. Sadly, we see a section of the people of God defending rapists and murderers. When the Benjaminites protect the wicked men of Gibeah, the rest of Israel declares war to prosecute justice as demanded in God's law. God’s justice is severe and unrelenting and it will never excuse sin. In this sermon by Rev Christopher Poshin David, we are reminded that for us wretched sinners, the Father sends Jesus Christ to pay the high cost of justice.

The horrific events narrated in Judges 19 make it one of the most difficult chapters to read in all of Scripture. It reveals the depth of human depravity and what many women even today have to face in this dark world. Only in facing this unsettling and troubling truth can we begin to seek the remedy God offers in the revelation of his Son, Jesus Christ. The good news is that our Lord and Saviour is the king who solves this darkness.

In Judges 18, we read of the idolatrous tribe of Dan that rejects the promises of God and seeks rest elsewhere, in the process even ruining the lives of others. As Christians, we too are often driven by idolatrous pursuits and seek God outside His revealed word.
In this sermon, Rev Christopher Poshin David shares that the antidote to an idolatrous heart is to submit to the one true King who will tear down our idols for us, freeing us to worship Him. The sermon was preached at Trinity Presbyterian Church, Chennai, on July 6, 2025.

The deterioration of the religious life of the Israelites in the time of the judges is made evident through the self-made and self-serving religion of a man named Micah. In our time, we witness this democratisation and pluralism of religion which seeks to please our senses, rather than offer worship that is acceptable to God. So, what is the right way to worship God?
Rev Christopher Poshin David delves into the problem of worship that plagues modern Christianity in this sermon preached at Trinity Presbyterian Church, Chennai, on June 29, 2025.

By his sin, Samson had many times put himself in great danger, and every time the Lord saved him. However, after revealing his secret to Delilah, Samson was abandoned by the Lord.

Though deeply flawed, Samson foreshadows Christ. Betrayed and rejected, he delivers Israel by God’s power—pointing to Jesus, who was also handed over, stood alone, and thirsted on the cross. Samson’s victory with a donkey’s jawbone and his cry for water mirror Christ’s triumph through the cross and His offer of living water. Through weakness, God brings salvation.
